I see shadows
tall big shadows as i wait

waiting for that one car
to come and take me home
because im lost

sitting on the rough concrete
thinking my thoughts through
winds gusting through my feet
man if heaven only knew

winter is near
and where is my head gunna lay
God only knows
so i guess i will pray

i see shadows
tall big shadows
but their just the trees
and i know for a fact no ones comming for me

tomorrow will come
and again im alone
no food no clothes no shelter
no love

The author's comments:
When my mother kicked me out I waited after school out back by myself. I kept seeing and hearing cars coming, but none of them seemed to be one to take me home. I wanted to go back home clearly, but I couldn't because no one was coming for me.
